The hotel was very busy with two large functions on the first night of my stay but the few guests dining in were not neglected and service was v.good.

This property has been on Booking.com since 3 Aug 2005.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This lets us know that our reviews come from real guests, like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or quiet room than someone who’s stayed at the property before?

We want you to share your story, both the good and the bad. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the details. Was the air-conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews and suggest you write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. That's our promise to you.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travellers to make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

We will sometimes remove reviews if they include the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing or offensive language.

Private information. To protect your privacy (and that of others) we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We do not display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, you should contact Customer Service, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens when:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the accommodation owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review goes with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there is any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent it will be flagged during the moderation process.

Okay

The location - close to Tavistock Market and Town Centre

The noise - in Room 21 (and other rooms in the immediate vicinity no doubt), the noise for the downstairs bar went on well into hours of darkness. Room got quite stuffy (could not open the very old and decaying windows) and the room hadn't been thoroughly cleaned (including Malteser wrappers next to the bed).

The room was a bit dated and very small, a broken window pain and in need of a tidy up on the paintwork in the bathroom. No glasses or bottled water provided which in my experience are usually expected for a room of this price.

Exceptional

We have stayed there by choice twice. We really enjoy the ambiance and the fact that it has its own identity - not like a lot of the modern hotels. We will definitely stay there again. As it was raining most of the time we found the shops very handy!

There is nothing we did not like, but I would have liked to have some information as to who the portraits were of.

Disappointing

18 December 2014

Location

When booking the room it was mentioned as being reduced to £89 from £140.00. I certainly would not have paid £140. Not even worth £89 we paid. We were given a room on the top floor (attic room) nothing like the photo on your website. We had to go up over two flights of stairs (no lift) with a heavy suitcase (good job my husband is quite fit for 66 years old). No offer of help with luggage. After travelling hundreds of miles we wanted a hot shower and something to eat. The water was cold. Telephoned reception and they said they would ring us back. Did not. Went to reception an hour later and the receptionist was less than helpful. Were told we had to leave the water running for a while as the room was on the top floor. I said we had left it running for well over 5 minutes. What a waste of water. The same thing happened the next morning. Also there was no lock on the bathroom door. Breakfast was a bit dried up and below average. Must re-emphasise the reception staff were less than helpful. With all this we then decided to eat out and not in the hotel. As the room was well below par then we did not want to try the restaurant or bar just in case. We have stayed in many hotels with same rating and above and can honestly say this was the worst

Very friendly and accomodative staff.
Restaurant good standard and value

The walls are very thin. The guests in the next room had a dog which insisted on banging its tail against the wall (it really was a dog as I could hear the owner telling it to go to sleep. Unless I was next to the dungeon....).
Room temperature couldn't be adjusted, had to get up at 3am to open the window - in mid December
